mathmale · Answer

Let's get off on the right foot.  Express that exponentiation (the 2nd power of x) as

y = x^2 – 6x + 5.

Any thoughts regarding how to find points on this parabola?
Or how to find the coordinates of the vertex?
Or how to find the y-intercept?
Or how to find the horizontal intercepts?

mathmale · Answer

Will the graph open upward or downward?

Again, I ask you to share what you know.  We'll build upon that knowledge.
